On May 3, 2004, Williams announced that it has obtained a new three-year, $1 billion revolving credit facility, primarily for general corporate purposes and issuing letters of credit. The new credit facility is secured primarily by certain Williams midstream assets located in the Western United States. The facility also can be increased by an additional $500 million under certain conditions. The new facility replaces an $800 million cash-collateralized credit line that Williams entered into last summer.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Williams has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
